There are not enough tech meetups in our area. The fact that people still carry their shopping in plastic bags is also not cool. Luckily, we have solutions for both of these issues.

Hey, we have a cool thing to share. We did a little bit of web scraping, and if we're going to keep the ratio of our very organic growth, soon we will be able to call ourselves "the biggest tech meetup in the UK." Pretty cool, right?

Remove the guesswork from your UI. Assuming that everyone is as tech-savvy as you are is not the way to go. Nothing beats descriptive text labels.

"Bad at CSS" by Keith Cirkel
CSS is a beautiful nightmare of cascading chaos. To be truly bad at it requires mastery of arcane syntax. Together we’ll dive into the depths of the cascade to explore the "wrong" ways to write CSS - the hacks, the horrors, and the head-scratchers - and uncover the logic (or lack thereof) behind the language’s most unhinged features. You’ll leave this talk worse at CSS… and somehow better for it.

"Start-Up to Exit: The Journey for Tech Companies" by Samantha Wildman and Ian Zant-Boer
From idea to investment to exit, every stage of a tech company’s journey brings new financial and strategic challenges. In this session, Samantha Wildman and Ian Zant-Boer share insights from their work advising high-growth technology businesses on how to build a finance foundation that attracts investors, supports innovation, and maximises long-term value. Samantha will explore the key financial levers that drive growth, how to prepare for fundraising rounds and exits. Ian Zant-Boer will offer a legal and investor lens on scaling, sharing his experience as a venture capital founder and adviser to scale-ups on how to structure for investment and avoid common legal pitfalls during growth and exit.

We would love to thank @storyblok.com for the long-term financial support of our meetup. Their contributions were sufficient to cover the costs for food and snacks at our events. We are sad that this collaboration needs to end. Great product built by a great company, and we wish them all the best.
